Can anyone help me identify this plant ?  Found it in a woody area.

 Thank you.

  • I'm pretty sure I have this plant and have had it for about 20 years. It's a campanula but I have long since forgotten the name of the variety. It does grow in shade and is a little invasive. Blue flowers (bluebell blue)

    Looks like a Campanula to me too, there is a white flowered type as well as blue.

    It is a campanula portenschlagia - lovely blue bell flowers in late spring, and it will hang down a wall if it is near the edge.

    Definitely a campanula, but mine flower all summer if I trim them after flowering.

  • I agree with chicky, campanula portenschlagia - it grows in the cracks along the walls here and finds homes for itself in bare patches of shady soil - mildly invasive but easily weeded out and so pretty so who cares.  

    It can look absolutely gorgeous - look at this

    Dove, that wall is so lovely, I wish that I could make my fences that attractive.
